THE Chicago Herald thus sums up
the Home Rule problem: "For the
purpose OF ('ragooning Ireland, Eng
land is at an annus5! expense of not less
than $l5, ,000 This money is drawn
from The pockets Of the general British
taxpayer, and its application is wholly
in behalf of the few Landlords to whose
interest it is that the last penny be
wrung from the suffering tenantry. So
great an expense would be warranted
in defense of a principle which was
recognized as correct, but when that
principle is one which ON examination
is found to be MUST aud destructive it
amounts to prodig!ous waste Ut public
funds for the purpose of bolsteriDg up
q parcel of selfish individuals whose
very rapacity has brought ali this trotl-
BILE upon themselves and the united
Kingdoms.

WAsAINGT0.N'S BIRTHDAY.

Washington's birthday, last Tuesday,
was generally and appropriately Oh
served throughout the length and
breadth OF the United States. In this
city all the banks and many places OF
business were closed during the day.
The Father Of his Country will never
te forgotten nor his name cease to be
revered by the patriotic citizens OF this
peerless Republic.
George Washington, like most Of the
patriots Of the Revolution, strongly
sympathized with Ireland, and repeat
ed]y expressed his appreciation OF the
bravery and fidelity Of his Irish-Amerj~
can officers and soldiers, as was shown
hv the fact that lie surrounded himself
with so many Of them as members of
his staff and Of his body-guard. His
letter in reply to the address Of the
Catholics Of the United States, the
"Yankee Club" OF Tyrone County, Ire
land, and many other writings and Ut
terances Of his further illustrate his
friendly sentiments toward the Irish
people at home as we'll as those who
had shared in the struggles and TIL
umphs OF the Republic.
1t is no. wonder then that IrislInen
heartily join With the American people
i'll their observance Of the anniversary
Of the birthday Of ths man who fought
SO va!iantly for The freedom of his ntl-
tive land.

Philpot Curran, the celebrated
Irish barrister. His biographers are
agreed that to see her again, and, if
possible, be of service to the men whom
his attempt at revolution led into trou-
BILE, was the chief motive of the danger
Gus step he took in remaining in Dub
lin. For some time he secured himself
from discovery at the house of a friend,
but was finally arrested.
In prison Robert Emmett bore him
self with that fortitude which is one of
the most certain marks OF q heroic
mind, and in the dock language would
fail to exaggerate the nobility mani
tested in the glowing sentences wherein
lie eloquehtly vindicated his cause and
character. The farce of trial was
played OH the 10th of September, 1908.
when he was brought before the special
commission, whereof Hanging N orbury
was president.
Robert Emmett's defense, though
actually spoken after condemnation,
when called Oh to receive judgment, is
y .3ne OF the most touching and pathetic
specimens of eloquence ever uttered.
In ailuding to his fathers early pol1ti-
Cal instruction, he exclaimed: IF the

pate in the concerns of those who were
dear to them in this transitory scene,

following his trial he was executed, aud
Just as the rope was about to be adj
-justed around his neck, he pronounced
the few but eloquent words ';My
friends. die iii peace, with sentiments
Of universal love and kindness toward
men,
Since the day when Robert Emmett,
the young patriot, offered up his
life for his country, his name has been
held i'll profound reverence by his coun~
trymen. His execution was opposed
and lamented even by those who hated
his politics. Time has not dimmed the
memory of his noble sacrifice, and all
over the world, wherever an Irishman
is to be found, next Friday will he fit
tingly observed as the anniversary of
the birthday OF the most dearly beloved
of Ireland's long and brilliant array Of
patriots and martyrs.

TONES I'M CONFERENCE.

It we accept rs q sign Of the future
the sentiments expressed by ijroulinent
Conservatives in conference the other
dav ii London us to the policy which
the Tory Government will adops TO-
wards Ireland it must be confessed that
it looks like coercion. The speech OF
Lord Salisbury, Was, to say che least.
ominous. After deploring The secession
of Lord Randolph Churchill FROM the
Government, and lauding MI. Goscien
to the skies for accepting the youthful
Tory,s seat. he said he hoped the Gov
ernlnent would be able: by reforming
the rules of procedure, to restore to the
House of Commons it's capacity for
pork and it's reputation for courtesy,
latter which, lie added, we shall be
able to deal with the question OF local
government in Ireland and with other
measures. I hope" he continued, that
The present law will be sufficient to en-
able the authorities to cope successfully
with disorder in Ireland. In any case
all bills will be postponed until after
the conclusion OF the proceedings for
reform Of the procedure rules and ac-
ton on the estimates" These words
can only have only have one meaning,
and that is, that the Tory Government
does not propose TO abandon its policy
of coercion. but will enact laws to en-
able il to still further Cypress the peo-
pie. The temper OF the conference, it
might be said, was emphatlcally Ill IA
vor OF Irish Repression: and this was
only opposed by Lord Salisbury's prom
ise that as soon as the new procedure
rules were adopted coercion would fol-
low. 4 leading argument Of others
was that the adoption Of the procedure
rules was the first step toward putting
stop to Irish obstruction tactics in
Parliament and strengthening the ac
ton of the executiy IN Ireland. There
were a few, however, opposed to imme-
diate coercive measures.
Lord Salisbury was compelled to hui
miIiatingly admit that he was unable
to proclaim the Land League, but he
assured the conference that the first
Irish business before the House would
# be to strengthen the present law on
that point.

INSTANCES Of Cardinal Gibbons
generosity are numerous. The Phila-
delphia Times relates the following
interesting story of a young lady vo-
calist. who has benefited by the vener-
able Cardinals liberality of soul: The
good fortune of Ellen Scanlan, young
Baltimore singer of more than ordin-
ary promise, is the subject Of comment
in that city, the home Of that ardent
lover Of music, Cardinal Gibbons. It is
related that about one month ago Miss
Scanlan, who sang usually in small
chapel in the southern part of the
city, was induced by the organist at tie
cathedral to sing the 80 Salutaris
Hostia" while the Cardinal was on his
throne at vespers. The girl had never
sung in the great cathedral before, and
as she is very Young and modest con-
sented only after much solicitation. At
the opening of the solo her voice was
80 faint and tremulous that even the
organist feared she would be unable to
proceed, and looked anxiously at his
protege from his perch in the organ
loft. AS she proceeded, however, she
regained confidence, and in a little
while the vast building re-echped to
tones so pure and sweet that all eyes
were turned toward the corner whence
they came Even the Cardinal. who
has seldom been know to turn his eyes
from the altar. faced the organ loft di-
rectly. and kept his eyes on the young
singer till the end. After the services
he learned the young girls name and
the necessity which compelled her to
work in cigarette factory, and then
sent for her and offered to pay her ex-
penses while studying music in Italy.
The offer was accepted by the young
girls friends, and she will soon be
among the students at the conservatory
in Florence.

AN HONEST OPINION.

Occasionally it becomes our pleasant
duty to record the honest opinion OF an
Englishman concerning the true state
OF affairs in Ireland. The latest III
stance of this kind is the following from
Mr. Conybeare, a member Of Parlia-
ment:
IF amongst LIS in England the gov
elnment of the country, 10 matter III
obedience to what internal laws the
landlords haye produced aud passed in
their own interest-lf the government
sent an evicting force among us. sent
men with crowbars, and paraffine oil,
and matches in order to burn down the
homesteads of our miners and other
people, tell you before heaven, men,
that [ would be the first to head the
biggest crowd Of stalwart Englishmen
I could gather round me, and l. would
not stop for one moment until / had at
any rate done something to sweep the
course of landlordism which oppresses
us almost as badly as it does your
selves"
This has the right ring about it. 1t
will be to the openly expressed honest
convictions of such men as Mr.. Cony-
beare that Ireland will be indebted for
the future success Of her national aspi-
rations. England cannot afford to with
hold from Ireland Home Rule when
the majority of her own people are
thoroughly convinced that such is III
the interests of humanity and the just
rights OF the people.
